Minshew hasn't played a snap all season; source wants to see if he can move offense better.

The source advocates for Minshew to see live game action in blowout situations, questioning why he was not inserted with 5:03 remaining in a 38-14 deficit. The article suggests it would be useful to see if Minshew can move the offense better than Brissett, and notes that Minshew has not taken a single snap all season despite Arizona playing five games.
